No, he's done. He might return to the speakership with enough twisted arms, but he's not winning this vote.

Not the first vote. He may get it back eventually, but he won’t be Speaker by the end of the day

McCarthy said he wouldn't give the dems any concessions for their support and Jeffries has seemingly closed the door on it. I don't see how he's getting out of this one.

McCarthy allies making last minute plea to House Democrats
From CNN's Annie Grayer and Melanie Zanona

House Republican allies to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy are making a last minute plea to House Democrats to try and save McCarthy, two sources tell CNN.

But House Democrats have been united in not wanting to save McCarthy.


Is there a chance that one or two moderate Dems suddenly step-in and save him?

Victoria Spartz has flipped. She posted on X/Twitter that she wanted to give McCarthy one last chance.

Those 11 GOP votes against tabling the motion are a good proxy.

Voting in this poll thread now locked.
Seems most of us were correct that he would lose the vote.

Astonishing/Unprecedented.
This is going to get weird. Hopefully the nation does not get a new hardcore MAGA House Speaker.
